Bronwyn’s Publications

Bronwyn self-published her first book in 1988, a textbook for the hairdressing industry, and distributed it nationally. Almost immediately this book was picked up by a major publishing house, and she was offered a contract for it, and for a second book. These were so successful they were on-sold to a US publisher, and sold widely in the US. These are now out of print in Australia, but may still be available in the US. These two books are:

  • Colour Crazy (textbook) Thomas Nelson 1988 ISBN 0 17 007274 6 (also published by Milady USA 1989 ISBN 1-56253-034-8)
  • Science in Your Salon (textbook) Thomas Nelson 1989 ISBN 0 17 007394 7 (also published by Milady USA 1989 ISBN 1-56253-035-6.)

Colour Crazy

While teaching in TAFE NSW School of Hairdressing, she co-authored another book, written to support migrant hairdressers with a non-English speaking background. This book is:

  • Let’s get Ahead in Hair (textbook) with Dilys Norrish, published by the Multicultural Education Unit of TAFE NSW.

Bronwyn had two stories published in 2014:

  • 2014 – Short story ‘The River’ published in Stringybark anthology Side by Side
  • 2014 – Short story ‘Time to Go’ shortlisted in Fish Publishing Flash Fiction competition
